In fact, because they are aesthetically appealing, possess calm personalities and remain smaller than many gigantic constrictors, rainbow boas have become some of the most popular snakes in the world.

Given their unique body plans, independently mobile eyes and unthinkably long tongues, it should be no surprise that chameleons are some of the most popular lizards among reptile enthusiasts. Throw in their ability to change colors in spectacular fashion, and these lizards rise to nearly mythological levels. But this unusual biology means that these lizards require rather specific husbandry, and they are generally not suitable for beginners. Nevertheless, those with a bit of lizard keeping experience are likely to find that panther chameleons are well worth the additional effort they require. While panther chameleon husbandry can be challenging, success is likely if you are sufficiently dedicated and educate yourself about the animals. After learning about the biology, natural history and native habitats of panther chameleons, you will be better prepared to provide your pet with a suitable home, in which he can live a long, healthy life.
